OnePlus initially claimed that the color filter camera and associated Photochrom color mode for the OnePlus 8 Pro, accused of allowing people to see through clothing, would only be disabled in China pending an undefined fix.

OnePlus has since pulled the update, according to the folks at Oxygen Updater, and a subsequent OTA will re-enable the feature.

If you're out of the loop, you can click through above to our prior coverage for more details, but the short version is that one of the cameras included with the OnePlus 8 Pro can see at least partly into the infrared spectrum, though it was only used for a single thing: a Photochrom color filter mode.

After the phone was released, some folks found that color filter mode was able to see through certain types of plastic and fabric in some cases.

This accidental update, Oxygen OS 10.5.9, has but a single item in its changelog: the disabled Photochrom mode (for some reason spelled with an extra "e").

We downloaded the update for ourselves before it was pulled via Oxygen Updater, and can confirm that the color filter camera's Photochrom mode has been disabled and is no longer present at the end of the list of color filter modes in OnePlus' camera app.

Though OnePlus didn't respond to further questions, the Oxygen Updater developers have confirmed to us that the update has since been pulled

OnePlus has pulled this update, and the Oxygen Updater developers have confirmed that a rollout for this version has halted
